Xystus - Act 1 Sc. 8: The Conflict lyrics
rate meDiegu:]
Aveline, I'm glad you wish to end this status quo
[Aveline, Diegu:]
On our way to find a way
[Aveline:]
To set away our differences
My heart is true, I hope my adversary
Feels just like I do
[Diegu:]
No one knows what lies ahead
[Ensemble:]
Primos and Aveline joining hands?
[Diegu:]
Peace at last, that is unless he pretends
[Lord Primos:]
Aveline, so glad you're here - now
Where do I begin
In a way, we both want change
I too am tired of this fight
Yes, in the end I'm sure you'll come to
Terms with all that serves you right
[Diegu:]
No one knows what lies ahead
[Ensemble:]
Primos and Aveline joining hands?
[Diegu:]
Peace at last, that is unless he pretends
[Aveline:]
You might pretend to be someone I can
Rely on - it's so hard
You might pretend to be someone I can
Rely on
[Lord Primos:]
Trust in me
Yes, my heart is true
And believe the things I reveal to you
Please, trust in me
Yes, my heart is true
And believe the things I reveal to you
[Diegu:]
May fortune smile upon us all
[Death:]
The time has come - you know what
Must be done
[Lord Primos:]
Yes - I know, no reason to be hasty
[Death:]
Don't be a fool - you have to follow through
[Lord Primos:]
I am aware - just sharpening my senses
[Death:]
His eyes turn red, his hatred grows...
Grows
To quench his thirst he will spill blood...
Blood
[Lord Primos:]
Aveline, it's all so clear
The future begins here
It's a time for new ideas
We'll set away our differences
The heart is true, I am sincere - just tell
Me what you want to hear
[Diegu:]
No one knows what lies ahead
[Ensemble:]
Primos and Aveline joining hands?
[Diegu:]
Peace at last, that is unless he pretends
[Aveline:]
You might pretend to be someone I can
Rely on - it's so hard
You might pretend to be someone I can
Rely on
[Lord Primos:]
Trust in me
Yes, my heart is true
And believe the things I reveal to you
Please, trust in me
Yes, my heart is true
And believe the things I reveal to you
[Diegu:]
May fortune smile upon us all
Aveline, [Diegu:]
A new dawn arrives
When we turn the page
And truly change our ways
[Lord Primos:]
Could it be really all I need,
Is to feed my hunger for power?
Could it be really all I need - is to feed?
[Aveline, Lord Primos:]
We share a common fate: our lives
Are intertwined
For all time...
[Lord Primos:]
Unless... I intervene... and take control...
Yes... that's it: I will fill the void inside
My soul... with power... I must!
My heart: an empty shell... goodbye
Aveline... I have chosen my path
Now grand me strength!
[Death:]
Yes...
[Diegu:]
This will be your last mistake Primos!
[Death:]
No!
[Diegu:]
Hurry Aveline, we must leave at once!
[Lord Primos:]
Intertwined... for all time...
[Death:]
Rise!
